A limited-run shirt program for military units
The unit shirt you had to be there for.
We design a real graphic tee about what your unit actually does — the nickname, the rotation, the motor pool, the thing the first sergeant says every formation. The store stays open for one to three weeks — you pick the window — then the whole order prints and ships in one box. Each member pays $15 for the standard two-color front print. Nobody passes a sign-up sheet around formation, collects cash in an envelope, or hauls leftover mediums to the next change of command.
Works for a section of 12 or a battalion of 800. No setup fee and no minimum order. Started by an Army veteran who still has every unit shirt he was ever issued.

You already know how the unit shirt goes.
Somebody volunteers to run it. A sign-up sheet goes around formation, half the sizes come back wrong, and the money shows up in cash, Venmo, and IOUs. Twelve shirts ride around in a trunk until PCS season. A shirt only becomes something people keep when not everyone could get one.
THE USUAL UNIT SHIRT
- Same design as every other unit on post
- Sign-up sheet in formation, sizes guessed
- One person fronts the money and chases it for weeks
- Whoever ordered them becomes the warehouse
- Leftovers in a wall locker, wrong sizes for the new guys
A TEEMWORK DROP
- Original artwork about what your unit actually did
- Open for a set window, then closed for good
- Each member orders, sizes, and pays for their own
- We run the store, the sizes, and the sorting
- Printed to the exact order. Nothing left over
Four steps, and three of them are ours.
Your part is a call at the start and an approval before the store opens. That's it.
1
We learn the good stuff
A 30-minute call with you and two or three of your people. The nickname, the rotation, the running joke, the thing your unit does that nobody else does.
2
We design the tee
Original vintage-style artwork drawn for your unit, front print and inside collar label. Your leadership approves it before anyone else sees it.
3
The store opens
We send you a link and an announcement ready for formation, the group chat, or the family readiness page. Members pick a size, pay $15, and it closes on the date you set.
4
One box arrives
Everything prints and ships about twelve business days later, bagged and labeled by name — to the unit, to home addresses, or to APO and FPO.
Three things you decide on every drop.
Same program, different shape depending on what the unit has going on. You set these when the drop is created, and they can change every time.
1
Who pays
Members pay $15 at checkout, so nobody on your end touches cash. Or a unit fund, family readiness fund, or booster club covers everyone, the store opens at zero, and we invoice that account once it closes.
2
How it ships
One box to the unit to hand out at formation, straight to each member's address, or let every person choose at checkout — including APO and FPO.
3
How long it runs
Anywhere from 1 to 30 days. A week builds urgency, two weeks catches the people who were in the field or on leave. Everything prints in one run when it closes.
Six ways to say the same thing.
Pick a direction on the discovery call and we design into it. Every style below is the same unit, the same story, drawn six different ways — so you're choosing a look, not gambling on one.
Vintage
Faded badge, a motto, an established year. The safe pick that never looks like it came from the PX.
The Definition
An MOS, a rating, or a unit habit set as a dictionary entry, defined the way the troops would actually define it.
Varsity
Collegiate block letters and a number. Reads like a team, and doubles as the shirt for PT on Friday.
The Field Tour
Ranges, field sites, and the motor pool listed like tour dates. The one people quote back to you at the reunion.
Unit Crest
A shield, a monogram, and a motto. Drawn original for your unit, so it carries the weight of a crest without borrowing one.
Souvenir
Park-sign nostalgia pointed at somewhere unglamorous. Funny without needing a punchline.
Not sure which fits? Most units land on Vintage for the first drop and get more adventurous from there. You can change styles every drop — nothing locks you in.
Shirts good enough to compete with the rest of the wall locker.
A unit shirt fails when it feels issued. Ours are the weight, cut, and hand-feel of a tee someone would have bought for themselves.
- GARMENTRingspun combed cotton, soft-washed. The tee people reach for off duty, not the one they're issued.
- COLORSOlive drab, coyote, black, navy, heather gray, sand, and more. Pick the one that fits the design and the unit.
- SIZESXS through 4XL, unisex and women's cuts. Every size is the same price, always.
- PRINTINGScreen printed in our own shop with soft-hand ink that moves with the fabric instead of sitting on top of it.
- INK COLORS$15 covers a one-side, two-color print. Extra colors or a back print raise the price, and we quote it before you approve the art.
- COLLAR LABELCustom printed label with your unit, our mark, and the drop year.
- ARTWORKDrawn from scratch for your unit. The unit owns it.
$15
Per shirt for a one-side, two-color print. Shipping to the unit included.
That's what each member pays at checkout. It doesn't come out of anyone's pocket but their own, and it's low enough that the private and the sergeant major both buy one.
More colors, a back print, or a sleeve hit move the price up. We design to the two-color standard first and tell you the exact number before you approve anything, so the price is settled before a single member sees the store.
Want to cover it for everyone instead? That's a whole-unit order, and it works a little differently.
The best part is the part only they see.
Turn the collar inside out and there's a printed tag doing three jobs at once. It's the detail people show each other.
-
1
Your unit name
Company, battery, troop, squadron, detachment, or ship. Set in type chosen to sit with the front design, nothing to approve twice.
-
2
A line only your people get
The motto, the running joke, the thing somebody says every single morning. It's hidden, so it can be funnier than anything you'd put on the front.
-
3
The drop it came from
The drop number, the year, and teemwork.com on the last line. That's what tells someone at a reunion twenty years from now exactly which shirt this was.
The oldest truth in the service, printed where only the det finds it
Every inspection's favorite excuse, immortalized
The early start, worn on the inside
Buying for the whole unit?
Plenty of units skip the store and buy one shirt for every member. Same original design, same collar label, one invoice instead of 150 checkouts. It's the move for a homecoming, a change of command, the unit ball, or the end of a rotation you want everyone wearing on the same day.
- One order, one invoice
- Volume pricing below $15 a shirt
- Send us your size roster, or we'll collect it
- Bagged and labeled by name, platoon, or section
- Ship to one unit or split across locations, APO and FPO included
- Card or ACH, paid before we print
No minimum

"Where'd you get that shirt?" "You had to be there."
Units turn over every couple of years. The shirt is how the people who were there find each other later. Everything else is logistics.
Pick how often your unit gets one.
Every program includes the design work, the collar label, the store, the printing, and delivery. The only difference is how many times a year your people get one.
The Annual
One drop a year
One shirt a year, usually tied to the unit's birthday, the ball, or the big rotation. The easiest way to see whether your people bite.
- 1 original design a year
- Custom inside-collar label with the year
- Store window of your choosing, run by us
- Sorted by name, shipped to one address
Most units start here
The Half-Year
Two drops a year
One for the field, one for the ball. Enough rhythm that people start watching for it, without planning around it four times.
- 2 original designs a year
- Custom inside-collar label with the year
- Store window of your choosing, run by us
- Sorted by name, shipped to one address
- Any shipping option, changed per drop
The Quarterly
Four drops a year
A shirt every season. This is the one that turns into a collection people try to complete before they PCS, and the one new arrivals ask about.
- 4 original designs a year, one per season
- Collar label numbered by drop
- Store window of your choosing, run by us
- Sorted by name, shipped to one address
- Any shipping option, changed per drop
- Announcement copy and images written for you
Things this takes off your plate.
Your NCOs have better things to do than run a T-shirt store. This runs closer to ordering pizza for the CQ desk than a program.
No sign-up sheet
Members choose their own size at checkout. Nobody walks a clipboard down the formation, and nobody ends up with a shirt that doesn't fit.
No cash to hold
Every member pays for their own at checkout. Nobody in the unit fronts money, keeps a ledger, or chases a debt across a PCS.
No wall locker of leftovers
We print exactly what was ordered. There's no surplus to store, count, or hand down to whoever takes over next.
No design committee
You get finished artwork to react to, not a blank brief. Two rounds of notes is usually all it takes.
No lost shipments
Leave, TDY, a move, a deployment. Each person can send theirs home or to an APO, so the shirt finds them wherever they are.
No reorders
The store closes and the drop is finished. New arrivals get the next one, which is exactly what makes the old ones matter.
Questions we get first.
Who actually pays for the shirts?
You choose per drop. By default each member pays $15 for the standard two-color print at checkout. There’s no setup fee, so the program itself costs nothing. If a unit fund, family readiness fund, or booster club wants to cover everyone, the store opens at zero and we invoice that account once the drop closes. What any given fund can be spent on is up to its own rules, so check with whoever manages it.
Can you put our official unit crest or insignia on it?
Official insignia, seals, and service marks are controlled by the services, and putting them on commercial products generally takes approval or a license. So we draw original art around your unit's nickname, motto, and story, which is usually what people want on a shirt anyway. If your unit already has approval for a specific mark, send it over and we'll talk through it.
What about OPSEC?
Nothing goes on a shirt that your leadership hasn't approved. We don't print deployment dates, locations, or anything you flag as sensitive, and a deployment drop can stay as vague as you need it to be. You see the front design and the collar label before the store opens.
We have people deployed, on leave, or mid-PCS. How do they get one?
You set the shipping rule when the drop is created: everything to the unit, everything to home addresses, or let each person choose at checkout, including APO and FPO. Individual delivery is a flat $6, and it all runs off the same store page, so you never manage two lists.
What if only 20 people order?
We print it anyway. There's no minimum and no penalty for a quiet quarter. A platoon-size drop is completely normal, and the first drop is usually the biggest.
Do we get to approve the design?
Always, and before any member sees it. You'll get the front artwork and the collar label on a mockup, request changes, and nothing goes live until you say so.
Who owns the artwork?
The unit does. It's your story on the shirt, so the design is yours to reuse on a coin, a sticker, or the next ball program.
How long from our first call to shirts in hand?
About four weeks. Roughly one week for discovery and design approval, one to three weeks for the open store, and twelve business days for printing and delivery. If you're tying it to a homecoming or a change of command, tell us the date and we'll plan back from it.
Let's design your unit's first one.
Twenty minutes. We'll walk through a real drop, talk about what your members are proud of, and tell you straight whether this is a fit for your roster and your calendar.
